From fiber artist Toni Lipsey of TL Yarn Craft, an introduction to the craft of Tunisian crochet—a unique crochet style that looks more like knitting—with 20 projects for beginners.
There are hundreds of books that explore traditional crochet, but there are few that reference the concept of Tunisian crochet or present it in a modern, approachable way. The Tunisian Crochet Handbook introduces this fascinating and rewarding technique with a wide array of stitches and design possibilities.
The goal of this book is to guide crocheters step-by-step through Tunisian crochet, starting with tools and yarns, transitioning into how-to’s and stitches, and finishing with easy but engaging patterns.
Every shawl, garment, and accessory featured takes makers beyond the basics, introducing new stitches to expand their skill sets. In this way, author Toni Lipsey is reintroducing crochet and encouraging makers to explore the craft further with each new design. Crochet continues to grow in popularity, and this guidebook offers a new take on the timeless classic, one that readers won’t be able to find anywhere else.
Includes instructional sections and patterns, complete with the necessary schematics and styled, chic photographs.
Good for those who want to learn a different method of ""crocheting"". It's a hybrid between knitting and crochet (or so I was lead To believe from the introduction)
"Given to me as a gift from my husband, sadly had to return it as I do not know how to crochet Tunisian style. . . it's a hybrid between knitting and crochet. Beautiful photos and patterns for those willing to learn a new method. Would need to buy suitable equipment, traditional crochet hooks are not part of the process."
